You said he did nothing else but score... I showed you otherwise. Move along...
Great win - Lakers
demoralizing loss Spurs ...I thought they would win ...

Odom is an enigma. For all the talents he has, he is unable to put together any sort of consistency. I don't think anyone can figure him out. When he's on and playing well Lakers are unstoppable but the problem is, he will give you a stretch of games like these and then disappear the next few. I guess we'll just have to live with it. This team is full of inconsistency anyway.
He gets lost for a couple of games. Then decides to show up. I would actually like to see him start and have Bynum come off the bench.
Sure would be nice to win at least 1.
Still a selfish player. Just move along. Your broguht up Kobe's ineffiency in the 1st place.
Just be cool if he had more games like today and Saturday vs Portland. That interview on KCAL after the Portland game was great. It's like he can't stare into the camera or something.
Odom's interviews are always awkward. He always stares around when he talks lol.
Sons, these last 2 games tell me 2 things..The players are lazier with kobe playing cuz they expect him to score 30-40 a night & that LO is a muchhhh better as a starter over Drew..Andrew is great when he gets his touches but LO just makes run smoother.
Not really a demoralizing loss. Most of us Spurs fans figured this outcome.
They been limp all year against better teams. I'm glad they lost. If they would've won that might've deluded the front office into thinking that there isn't any fundamental problems with this team, thus convincing them that no trades or other moves are necessary.
First move of the day is that Pop needs to quit throwing out small ball lineups.

Spurs are in shambles.
Its not just head getson.
There's no emotion, it looks like no one even want to be out there and that no one even communicates to each other on the court. No energy, and no chemistry. Spurs are in deep , I see only struggles the rest of the year and honestly i'd rather them miss the playoffs if they're going to just squeeze in by playing like the they displayed tonight.
Only good thing i guess next year is head is an expiring contract so he probably will be easy to trade to some team during the year who wants to dump salary. you , you soft pos that sounds like you sucked helium out of a massive balloon-from a fellow UA alumni
Pau Gasol es
21-19-8-5
Dude is easily a top 10er
I hope Kobe sits out the next game and the ASG as well. Gasol too if possible. Maybe his hamstring is bothering him...might explain his missing a bunch of those easy shots he usually makes.
21/19/8/5 on 46 minutes. The guy practically played the entire game (wish he'd gotten the triple doubles). He's had very little rest and we're going to need him and Kobe as healthy as possible come playoff.
I bash on Gasoft as much as anybody but he showed up strong in the second half.
Kobe takes about twice as many possessions as Pau, and he is a guard, but only averages roughly over 1 assist more. As great as Kobe is, he takes way too many possessions for his efficiency, and Pau doesnt get it enough, particularly when you consider his efficiency.
22+ FGA can fly when you have guys like Smush and Walton starting, but not when you have one of the deepest and most talented teams in the modern era, and a top 10 player in the NBA next to you, thats too many.
glad to see the manu-stopper show up![]()
Anyway about the loss tonight, i dont take too much out of it when a team is missing two of its three best players - the situation and gamestyle becomes so difference, especially when a guy like Kobe is out - it isnt as simple as saying you add Kobe + Bynum and the performance gets better linearly. Same thing applies for the first encounter which the Spurs won, Pau being out is equally huge. So, i dont think these two games have told us much in terms of the Spurs-Lakers matchup in particular..
Having said all that, 99% of Spursfans will tell you that when everybody is healthy, the Lakers are about 2 levels above the Spurs, and the series probably goes 5 games.
Nothing to gloat about here. The Spurs aren't a very good team right now.
Richard Jefferson is an absolutely awful fit for them. It might be the worst trade of the offseason.
manu couldnt stop TheMachine either. haha
Still doesnt change the fact that he couldnt stop him either. If you ask every spurs fan on this board, the Lakers run started with Sasha's 3 that ended the first quarter.![]()
Around half way through the 3rd is when I noticed that too. Then Pop took a timeout to remind his players there was still plenty of time left in the game. They looked defeated there... kind of needless too when there was still lots of time left in the ball game.
That was probably Sasha best game in a year or so.
I was honestly really impressed with the Lakers tonight... it's nice to a see a team with role players that step up and play with energy and drive. Props.
yah man...when i saw blair standing next to gasol, blair was like up to gasol's chin. lol
Nope...I pointed out Gasols.
And you are correct ... it's awfully selfish raking in the LOB's.
